Norway’s Mette-Marit has reappeared after There was some concern after Palacio announced a few days ago that he was extending his leave after resuming his treatment for chronic pulmonary fibrosis that was diagnosed several years ago. In the company of Prince Haakon, he has resumed his agenda at an event on mental health. Furthermore, this Thursday, the couple will attend a lunch in the midst of all the controversy of the Marius Case that does not stop growing and generating more and more doubts. Now, contradictions have arisen between the Police and the Palace that have to do with the arrest of the son that the Princess had when she was single.
The Royal Family has confirmed that they were notified by the Police and that the Court informed Princes Haakon and Mette-Marit of the possible arrest of Marius. The country’s public radio and television, NRKensures that The Princess’s son was alerted to arrest by his mother and that he would have even cleaned his son’s house before he teethed. Marius’s home is located within the Skaugum estate, the residence of the crown prince. Something that has generated discomfort in public opinion because it is a favorable treatment and because it would have allowed the elimination of evidence.
To make matters worse, the Police assure that they notified the Palace, but that at no time did they mention a possible arrest. “After the police were informed that Maris Borg had been involved in an incident on the night of August 4, The Police routinely notified the Palace for security reasons. Information about the incident was provided, but no clarification was given by the Police about a possible arrest,” said the communications director of the Police Security Service, Trond Hugubakken.
For its part, the Palace has said that “the Police informed the Court and the Court informed the crown princes about an incident involving Marius Borg and about a possible arrest,” reported the Director of Communications of the Royal Household, Guri Ofstad. Varpe, speaking to NRK. This has only further entrenched the issue since it is still unclear whether someone notified the Head of State about a possible arrest or if it is actually a conclusion reached by the Palace itself.
A strange stop from the beginning
Despite the confusion, the Police insist that they informed the Palace about an arrest that was strange from the beginning. Marisu Borg was arrested at the Janslokka public school, a place unrelated to him, but close to the Skaugum royal estate. Already then it was concluded that the place had been agreed upon by both parties in order to avoid the scandal and bureaucracy that an arrest would imply within a place that belongs to the head of state.
When Marius was arrested, his mobile phone was confiscated, the SIM card was missing and it was partially damaged. In his statement, Mette-Marit’s son assured that until that same day the card was in his phone, but that he does not know who took it or where it could be. Furthermore, according to VG, Before the Police arrested Marius, the Princess entered his house while he was showering and cleaned it because it was very messy, thereby eliminating evidence.
The Police have received a request from one of the parties to the accusation that the crown princess be questioned about the open investigation into the case of violence against her son, something that, for the moment, has remained up in the air. Now that he has returned to work, he may be asked to testify again.
As controversy and confusion continue to growKing Harald, 87, is on a private trip abroad and it is his son Haakon who is acting as regent, while Princess Mette-Marit returns to the public scene amid the contradictions that have arisen.
